Chapter 57: Lianna Neri
Lianna noticed the shawl wrapped around Yeri's neck.
Her eyes lingered a moment longer than necessary.
Yeri caught the gaze and inwardly cursed Shin Keir to the depths of her heart.
She had slathered thick foundation over the hickeys, but she couldn't be sure they were completely covered. Just to be safe, she'd draped a shawl around her neck before leaving the dorm.
"I actually have a weak constitution and sometimes feel cold despite the changing weather," Yeri said quickly, offering a sheepish smile. "Today's one of those days—but no big deal, really."
"Ah... please let me know if you feel unwell," Lianna replied softly, concern flickering across her delicate features.
At that moment, their food arrived, and with it came the restaurant's manager, Wayne.
"Miss Zhi, it's been a while!" Manager Wayne beamed as he bowed slightly. "Thank you once again for patronizing our restaurant. We're honored to serve you."
Yeri smiled and nodded politely. "Thank you, Manager Wayne. Everything looks delicious as always."
After the manager left, Lianna looked mildly curious. "The service here is really excellent... and the manager seemed familiar with you?"
Yeri smiled lightly. Since Lianna already knew about her relationship with Shin, there was no need to hide it. "I came here before with Young Master Keir."
